Abstract:
A device for therapy or exercise is provided that includes a frame, a base at least partially supporting and extending from the frame, a user support moveably coupled to the base and positioned adjacent the frame, a foot crank system coupled to the frame, a hand crank system coupled to the frame, and a motor coupled to at least one of the foot crank system and the hand crank system. The motor selectively powers the foot crank system and the hand crank system and comprises an active mode and a passive mode.
Abstract:
Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for training a patient in moving, by executing a session program comprising a plurality of exercises and the order by which the exercises are to be practiced by the patient. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive results of measurements made during an early stage of training according to the session program, said measurements being indicative of parameters characterizing the moving of the patient; and execute a later stage of the session program based on the results received during the early stage of the training.
Abstract:
A fitness ball has first and second hemispheres, which are connectable to form a complete sphere. The first hemisphere supports a motor having a pair of rotatable eccentric masses at opposite ends of a common drive shaft. The second hemisphere supports a rechargeable battery pack, electronic circuitry and indicators LEDs. The electronic circuit controls the charging of the battery pack and also selectively provides electrical power from the battery pack to the motor to control the rotational speed of the motor to rotate the eccentric masses. The rotating eccentric masses cause vibrations that are communicated from the motor to the two hemispheres. The vibration frequency is controlled by the rotational speed of the motor. The hemispheres have outer covers having a configuration that is easy to grip such that the vibrations are communicated to a users hands. The ball is substantially balanced about an equatorial plane.
Abstract:
There is provided an assembly for selectively coupling together elongate members, of a walker apparatus. The assembly includes-a push-responsive actuator actuation of a first portion, of which promotes coupling of the elongate members together. The assembly includes an actuator-engagement member moveable from an unengaged position spaced-apart from the, actuator to an engaged position in which the actuator-engagement member extends across and actuates the first portion of the actuator.
Abstract:
A brake assembly for a height-adjustable walker apparatus is provided. The brake assembly includes a brake actuator, a wheel-engaging brake member and a brake cable assembly. The brake cable assembly includes a flexible, inner cable. The brake cable assembly includes a flexible, outer casing through which the inner cable extends and is moveable relative to. The inner cable has a first end coupled to the brake actuator and a second end coupled to the wheel-engaging brake member. The brake assembly includes a brake cable housing shaped to enclose a slack portion of the brake cable assembly.
Abstract:
The foot comprises three rigid foot segments, namely a middle foot segment arranged to be connected to a leg of the robotic exoskeleton, a front foot segment elastically connected to the front end of the middle foot segment by means of a first set of leaf springs, and a rear foot segment elastically connected to the rear end of the middle foot segment by means of a second set of leaf springs. The foot is preferably configured in such a manner that in the condition where the front foot segment and the rear foot segment are both in contact with the ground, and no load is applied onto the foot, the middle foot segment is not in contact with the ground, but is elastically suspended by means of the first and second sets of springs.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a mobility device including at least one drive component that drives at least one joint component is described. The control may include providing said mobility device, providing an electronic communication device having a control application to be executed by the electronic control device, receiving an input of settings information to the electronic communication device, the settings information being stored by the control application, electronically connecting the electronic communication device to the mobility device, and executing the control application with the electronic communication device to perform a session of using the mobility device. The electronic communication device executes the control application to control the at least one drive component of the mobility device to selectively configure and modulate the at least one joint component in accordance with the settings information. The control application may be based on multiple device and/or user profiles with the settings being set based on the profiles. Session information may be displayed in real time as a displayed session dashboard, and stored in session logs for future review and analysis.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a lower limb rehabilitation training robot. A vertical lifting module (8), a horizontal moving module (13) and a steel cable (10) connecting the vertical lifting module (8) and the horizontal moving module (13) to enable the horizontal moving of the horizontal moving module (13) to drive the vertical lifting of the vertical lifting module (8), are arranged on a base bedstead (1). The vertical lifting module (8) is hinged to one end of a bedstead main body (17) of a standing-up bedstead (2), and an adjusting device which can be used for adjusting an included angle between the vertical lifting module (8) and the bedstead main body (17) is further arranged therebetween. A sliding block and a sling (56), one end of which is connected with the sliding block, are arranged on a suspension frame (55) connected with the standing-up bedstead (2). A guiding wheel for tensioning the sling (56) is fixedly arranged on the suspension frame (55). The sling (56) bypasses the guiding wheel, and the other end of the sling (56) is used for connecting with a patient to enable the vertical height of the other end of the sling (56) to be adjusted through the horizontal moving of the sliding block. The continuous and smooth flip of the standing-up bedstead from a horizontal location to a vertical location is realized, and weight-losing training for patients is realized, enabling the robot to adapt to the patients of different body positions and different rehabilitation stages.
Abstract:
A system for promoting knee flexion may comprise a support bar and a plurality of pads removably mounted thereto, such that sequential use of the plurality of pads may progressively allow a knee joint to move through an increased range of motion.
